On Christmas Day my friend gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, 6 pounds. She came a week early, that lucky dog. This friend lives close to us (which is rare out in the country!) so I'm hoping in the future our boys will be friends. We went over to visit them last night and I can't ... [More]

YES! I lost 2.4 pounds yesterday! Whoo! My consultant had to do the numbers three times to make sure she was correct because very seldom have I ever had that big of a weight loss in one week! Darn, taking away my condiments (ketchup, spray butter) and jello, coffee, and pop r... [More]

Today is my family's annual tradition during the holidays. We go to the Khron Conservatory and the Art Museum because they're decorated beautifully for Christmas and it's a festive thing to do. We usually eat lunch at the Art Museum and then go back to my parents' house for board games, ... [More]

Tomorrow is the big weigh in! I'm nervous even though I shouldn't be since I ate all my Jenny Craig food during the holiday meals. Even today we had my in-laws over for brunch and I ate a Jenny Craig Breakfast Stuffed Sandwich. You should've seen the spread of food I had! Usu... [More]

I hope all you had a wonderful holiday with friends and family. Ours was very nice. It was a lot different with a newborn, that's for sure. It always takes us several carloads with just the two of us to deliver presents and food that I made. However, now it takes even more pr... [More]

Hope you all have your holiday shopping finished! Cincinnati is expecting 2-4 inches which I know isn't much for places like Cleveland or Colorado but for us it's a lot. Our snow is expected to hit at night which is dangerous for all of the people driving home from parties. So, if ... [More]

First my son had pneumonia and then my Mom had her mystery illness, right? Well, the past three weeks I've been complaining on here how my husband's sick. He has this fever that comes and goes while being weak and lethargic. Last night I was at my breaking point. All day yest... [More]

Whooo! Today I lost 1.5 pounds! Wow, so cutting out all condiments, diet pop, and coffee really did help. Darn, I LOVE coffee. Once I start back to school again in January I'm not sure I'll be able to keep that up. I'm not really so sure it's actually coffee and diet po... [More]

Forewarning to expecting mothers: when you have kids you will NEVER be able to just wake up and arrive to a function on time again without a lot of preparation. Once when it took me only an hour to shower, eat, and get ready it now takes me two. You would think it's only a baby and... [More]

Tonight my sister-in-law kindly offered to have our son spend the night at her house so we could go out with friends. I was able to celebrate my friend from school turning 30 at her husband's new restaurant that he opened in Clifton: La Poste (which has been getting rave reviews and if I weren... [More]
